Collapse!
Collapse!
Cut me down and bring me back
Back to the moors where the blood runs black
Where ancient hunger lingers at the gates
And the wolves forget the gods they ate
I wore the shadows like a wedding shroud
My veins were verses that screamed out loud
I danced on graves with blistered feet
And fed myself to something sweet
Οὐχ ὁ θεός με δεσμεύει νῦν·
(No god binds me now.)
Σταυρὸν συντρίβω, οὐρανὸν τέμνω
(I shatter the cross, I rend the heavens.)
Σκιά μου στέφανος ἐστί·
(Shadow is my crown.)
Ὁ θάνατος ψάλλει, ἁλληλούϊα
(And death sings, “hallelujah.”)
Σπλάγχνα θεῶν ἔφαγον ἐν μέλᾳ νυκτί·
(I devoured the entrails of gods in the blackest night.)
Αἷμα ἔγραψεν τοὺς νόμους μου
(Blood has written my laws.)
Ἀγέλη μου ἔρχεται διὰ πυρός·
(My pack comes through fire.)
Καὶ γῆ κλαίει κάτωθεν ἡμῶν
(And the earth weeps beneath our tread.)
Collapse!
Collapse!
Scorch the earth and trim the fat!
Return the ancient places to the beasts!
When the forest calls the wolves to feast!
Collapse!
Collapse!
Pierce the veil where the sky is cracked
Where the ancient ways will never die
And the call of battle cannot be denied
Ἀναστήσθητε, ἀδελφοὶ τῶν ὀστέων·
(Rise, brothers of bone!)
Στὴν ἱερὰ νύκτα, βασιλείαν καιοῦμεν
(In the sacred night, we burn down kingdoms.)
Σὰρξ ἡ γλῶσσά μας, ἔριγμα ἡ προσευχή·
(Flesh is our tongue, our prayer is the scream.)
Ἐν τῇ φθορᾷ, λύτρωσιν εὑρίσκομεν
(In decay, we find redemption.)
Ὁ λύκος οὐ προσεύχεται·
(The wolf does not pray.)
Βοᾷ. Σπᾶ. Θύει
(It howls. It rends. It sacrifices.)
Καὶ ὁ κόσμος γίνεταί του σῖτος,
(And the world becomes its meat,)
Ὡς πάλαι καὶ πάντοτε
(As it was, and ever shall be.)
